WATCH: Aftermath of deadly Mexico City train crash captured in shocking drone footage
The extent of destruction from a deadly Metro train crash in Mexico that left at least 23 people dead, including minors, was caught on camera by a drone.
Gut-wrenching footage shared by RT’s Ruptly video agency shows emergency workers next to the fallen track and crushed train, which officials fear may still contain trapped passengers.
Emergency vehicles are seen gathered at the site while first responders congregate around the collapsed platform.
At least 23 people – including children – died and a further 79 were injured after the overpass platform carrying the train collapsed over a busy road on Monday evening.
